If you have a goal to lose weight, or if you’re already in the middle of a lifestyle change, you may still be falling prey to some basic mistakes. It is human nature to want to look and feel better. Weight loss is part of that desire, but it can be more difficult than it sounds. Many people will start an exercise program or diet only to lose a few pounds. When this happens, it is easy to get discouraged. The good news? It is very possible that you’re sabotaging your diet plan with some common mistakes that can be easily fixed.

It is important to stay focused when this happens. If you’re committed to making a lifestyle change, it is just as important to tackle the small problems as well as the big ones.
